you gave me the ability.

alright, random title. But it was actually from a prayer today. "pray that i have a job, but not simply for the sake of money, but for that you gave me the ability to work."

so Thank god for giving me the ability to paint. and TODAY IS THE DAY.
so i have been thinking about what to paint....then i decide to start painting some paintings that i like. I picked out two paintings from Georgia O'keef. She is famous for painting blow-up flower images...I like her painting for her boldness in using color. and how geometry, and simple her composition is. her painting shows the way she look at things. well...i guess all painting to some degree does....
so i picked out these two.
oops...cant upload pictures...oh well..
so one is a huge blowup flower...and then another is a image of some sort of architecture under a blue blue sky. i never seen her painting an architecture before. and this one is still pretty fascinating. So far i am going with these two. This reminds me of the old high school days how i started painting buildings....in an abstract way. That was an painting competition. my painting was generated from a photo of the skyline of Shanghai. So i abstracted the buildings and everything. and..painted it......i dont know how well the painting really is...tho it received the 2nd National prize of painting and calligraphy...but think about it now. the way that i abstract it...dictates how i look at the building. and maybe that's what's good about it????? maybe.
so ...anyways. i ask myself why dont i do that? paint some architectures in an abstract way...in a way that i see architecture.

hmm...

alright prayer time.
Pray for the people in Germany that they wont get sick from the vegetables or any food they eat. pray that...J..mariela..Travis....Nick...James...etc.etc. will be cautious about what they are eating...and spent quality times when they are in Germany. Pray that they will have good time, good experience. and stay safe.
Pray that Kumi will gain wisdom from you so that he knows what to choose from more education or this current job. and also I thank God that you keep accompanny with him thru his hard time, giving him direction and guidance.
Pray that Ziwei delivers her baby smoothly. =)
hmmm
